Anglesey became a refuge for survivors from across the world, but living in the shadow of a decrepit nuclear power station was always a precarious existence. There is only one destination for their final exodus from Britain, but Belfast won't become their new home. There are fewer undead on the island of Ireland, but they still number in the millions. With farming impossible, with the weather worsening, with ammunition exhausted, desperation turns to despair. All seems bleak, but the survivors are unaware how desperate their situation truly is.

As anarchy and civil war took grip across the globe, Britain was quarantined. The press was nationalized, and martial law, curfews, and rationing were implemented. It wasn't enough. An evacuation was planned. The inland towns and cities of the United Kingdom were to be evacuated to defensive enclaves being built around the coast and the Scottish Highlands and in the Irish Republic. For George Tull and the other residents of the Waverly-Price Retirement Home, walking to the coast is not an option.

Banished by bad decisions to spend the summer with his great-grandmother, Liam Peters thinks his life is over. After all, Marty Peters is a tough woman to be around. Maybe she wouldn't be so bad if she'd just take an interest in the modern technology he loves. Sure, she has some insight to her...but the woman is practically "pushing daisies". Not surprisingly, as tornado sirens announce a city-wide emergency, Liam discovers why that term should be avoided...well...like the plague.

In a desperate bid to save Lucy, Alex goes in search of the secret government facility on Apocalypse Island. If the scientists there created the virus, then surely they have a cure. Alex will go to any lengths to get it, even if it means risking his life in a building full of monsters.

The Undead Rain series is a winner!

What made the experience of listening to Lightning: Fighting the Living Dead the most enjoyable?

Great writing. Believable characters. Each book just keeps getting better.

What other book might you compare Lightning: Fighting the Living Dead to and why?

Return Man

What about Brian Grey’s performance did you like?

An excellent performer who has a great, nuanced voice.

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

No, over several days.

Any additional comments?

This was a very interesting take on the genre and I particular enjoyed how the author evolved the protagonist. I am looking forward to the audio realization of his fourth novel and am glad to hear he's working on a fifth.

But it's most annoying that in a 4 book series you can only get 3 in audio book form.
